Johann Christian August von Kalm (* before 1785; † October 17, 1827 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a Baden governor, district director and state councilor.

Life

Kalm comes from a Brandenburg family who moved their headquarters to Braunschweig in 1680 . Kalm entered the service of the margraviate of Baden in 1785 and worked in the rent chamber . In 1790 he became chamberlain and in 1791 was appointed head of the Oberland mining commission. In 1797 he was appointed bailiff of the Landgraviate of Sausenburg and the Rötteln rulership ( Oberamt Rötteln ) based in Lörrach .

In 1802 he was given the ownership of the prince-bishop's Basle bailiwick of Schliengen . After other imperial estates (Prussia and Austria) had started to occupy the ecclesiastical areas intended for secularization and Napoleon also put pressure on Baden in this regard, the Kalm occupied the Landvogtei Schliengen with a small military department on September 23, 1802. On November 30, 1802, the handover took place in a solemn act, and on December 12, the last Prince-Bishop of Basel, Franz Xaver von Neveu, released the last Prince-Bishop 's governor, Ignaz Sigismund von Rotberg, from his oath of allegiance.

On December 31, 1809 he was appointed director of the meadow circle . Due to a stroke, he was released from this office in October 1815, retired and appointed to the real Council of State. In November 1815 it was announced that the Wiesenkreis would be dissolved and added to the Dreisamkreis. On March 29, 1817, Kalm submitted an extensive memorandum to Karl Wilhelm Marschall von Bieberstein on the organization of the administration in the Grand Duchy of Baden.
